"You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles released initially as the B-side of the single "Let It Be" on 6 March 1970. Although first issued with their final single (and the penultimate single in the United States), the Beatles recorded the song in four separate sessions, beginning with three in May and June 1967, during the sessions for Magical Mystery Tour, with one final recording session conducted in April 1969 during the last sessions for Let It Be and Abbey Road. The song features a saxophone part played by Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones.
Not that it's at all like 'Revolution 9,' but it's almost as avant-garde in a way, as a novelty-humor piece that, rather than riffing on one joke too much, becomes a downright weird multi-sectioned orgy of goofiness.
